Frank Frazetta did the cover art featuring Buck Rogers. The black background retains a high amount of reflective gloss. The book grades FN+. The following defects keep the book from grading higher: the spine shows some light stress as does the very top of the book, when held to the light the cover shows a small crease on the left near the top, the inside cover has a small dust shadow across the top, the top left corner has a small chip. The pages are cream to off-white.
